With only 3 years behind it, this year’s Fashion’s Night Out was bigger and better than ever! The extravaganza stretched from Manhattan to Milan and Atlanta to Australia, with stores in over 250 cities across the US and over 1000 in Manhattan alone. Parties were hosted by models, designers and bloggers, but what caught our FASHIONOTES’ editors’ eyes were the DIY events at Madewell and Free People hosted by the gals from Honestly…WTF?! Leading the pack with fresh ideas, these famous do-it-yourself bloggers had everyone clamoring to get a chance to make their own accessories. Feeling inspired and ready to get crafty, we dove right in and managed to make our own super-cute denim western bowtie. Honestly…how could we not?!
